A week after my first autumnal visit to Mount Wilson, I returned to capture the colours of the foliage at Breenhold Gardens before the cold and bleakness of winter set in.
This visit was much earlier in the morning than the last visit, as I had arranged access to Breenhold Gardens before the site was open to the public.
I found that the colour and leaf coverage on the ground was not as intense as I had expected and hoped, but it was still nice to visit and photograph Laburnum Steps in the quiet of dawn.
Perhaps next autumn will result in a very different type of image.

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Beginning to flower in the car park. I'll have to try and get over the road for a better photo, but without Rufus in hand.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Some beautiful Laburnum flowers just off Wood Vale in Highgate on the Greenways path down to Crouch End.

Mt Wilson is a location I have wanted to photograph for a few years, and while I had been once, the best time to visit is during autumn, when the leaves turn to intense colours of red, orange and yellow.
A weekend getaway to the Blue Mountains was planned for 12-13 May, 2018, and as the time for photographing Mt Wilson's autumn colours is very limited, a visit to this location was a must.
This is Laburnum Steps in Breenhold Gardens, a 45-hectare garden in the beautiful Blue Mountains.
I was fortunate to see some stunning autumnal colours, but based on other images I have seen, it does not look like it has reached the intensity exhibited during colder years.
I hope to return to Breenhold Gardens and capture this scene at its brilliant best.
Looking up into a Laburnum tree, the lovely yellow blossom hanging down like a tree full of corn on the cobs.

Incredibly 'All parts of the plant are poisonous, and can be lethal if consumed in excess. Symptoms of laburnum poisoning may include intense sleepiness, vomiting, convulsive movements, coma, slight frothing at the mouth and unequally dilated pupils. In All parts of the plant are poisonous, and can be lethal if consumed in excess. Symptoms of laburnum poisoning may include intense sleepiness, vomiting, convulsive movements, coma, slight frothing at the mouth and unequally dilated pupils. In some cases, diarrhea is very severe, and at times the convulsions are markedly tetanic. The main toxin in the plant is cytisine, a nicotinic receptor agonist' Wikipedia
I took about 10 shots of this and on each one , the color had blown slightly , which i was a litle disappointed about.
Thanks for stopping by :)
This is a garden with Laburnum Trees in bloom which only appear for about two weeks every year. I made a special trip this year to make sure I was here at the right time..
Thanks for looking and very much appreciated..
Laburnum, commonly called golden chain, is a genus of two species of small trees in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae.
p28
"Laburnum, sometimes called golden chain or golden rain, is a genus of two species of small trees in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae. The species are Laburnum anagyroides—common laburnum and Laburnum alpinum—alpine laburnum. They are native to the mountains of southern Europe from France to the Balkans." (Wiki)
The laburnum blossom has appeared in the car park. The tree is right in the middle so the lovely colour shows up well, but better on a lovely sunny day. Which it wasn't today.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
The laburnums are in bloom in van Dusen Gardens. There's a path that's lined with these trees and it's beautiful this time of year.
Laburnum used to be called "Golden Shower Tree," but that means something very different today. If they called it "The Golden Shower Walk" instead of "Laburnum Walk," there probably wouldn't be a lot of people wanting to stroll through it. :-)
One of my favourite trees (if you could admit to having a favourite tree) is the Laburnum - the trailing yellow flowers each spring make the tree stand out after all the others have lost their blossom. Luckily we have one right outside our house - and the town where I live does have lots of them all around.
From this angle the yellow flowers look like corn on the cob just hanging around.
